Planning

The MRP is provided by Gritd and you will be coached 1-on-1 by InnovationQuarter. The purpose of this program is to systematically collect customer insight and convert this into a proposition that fits seamlessly with your customer's core problem, ultimately creating a paying (core) customer. In the MRP you follow ten weeks of workshops, in which you test all assumptions about your customer. In the first weeks you work towards a validated customer problem that is worth solving, then in the remaining weeks you work on your product, business model and the commitment of your first customer; the program also includes a pitch training.
